Keep my kiss on the palm of your hand
As the wind tears this autumn apart,
And some day, on a wintry land,
It will bring the July to your heart.

Carry on as the sky drops its frost
And the love in your blood fades away.
Keep this kiss when the feeling is lost
On the way to the following day.

Time will bring you a house and a wife,
Then the rime of the age on your strand...
But I know, I will stay in your life
As this kiss on the palm of your hand.
